Models Own - Polish For Tans

On a reasonably cold day, I've decided to blog about the epitome of summer polishes: the Models Own Polish For Tans collection. Though it was sunny earlier and I got stung by a wasp, both very summery things, so we can't be too offended by this out of season neon right? Right...

Models Own "Beach Bag" is neon coral; "Flip Flop" is matte neon yellow-green; "Malibu Pink" is a neon cool-toned pink creme polish.

Before we review the polishes, I'm so sorry about this gradient. Sometimes I think I can do sponge gradients, but then I do this and it makes me want to become a hermit. Lol, anyway.

So, similarities first. Normally a neon needs a white base to make the colour pop, but my nails are naked beneath these polish, and they pop pretty loudly! I love all of these colours but "Beach Bag" is a personal favourite. It's truly the summer colour, ugh! They're all equally bold and very eye catching. The idea behind this collection is that these polishes are meant to suit tanned skin, obviously. However, even my pasty digits look golden wearing Polish For Tans. They're light, bright, and make me feel like a bronze Barbie!

The differences in these polishes are their failings, somehow. Both "Beach Bag" and "Malibu Pink" are quite thin, so need layering and chip easily. "Flip Flop" is randomly matte, which is fine but I prefer the glossy finish. It's opaque in one coat, but a slower drier. I'm pretty sure my nails look like tennis balls in this... 

Summery balls.
